Thanks a Latte ~ RS73

Although I've been stamping for several years now (17 to be exact), and I've been wooed by a few Stampin' Up Demonstrators in the past, I finally bit the bullet and became a demonstrator myself!!! I am so excited! My sister-in-law has been a demonstrator for a few years and has recently landed herself a full-time teaching job. She has made the decision to step away for demonstrating for a while. It was the perfect opportunity for me to pick up where she left off.....after all, I was her best customer!

I chose this stamp set called "The Perfect Blend" as part of my kit. I'm a sucker for anything coffee....I'm a big coffee drinker and lover! I mixed in a few stamps (the heart and "a latte") from another of my favorite old coffee sets called "Like It A Latte". The year on the set tells me it's from 2006.

I also used a couple of other new products on this card for the first time. The Crumb Cake background is splattered with Gorgeous Grunge stamps and then dry embossed with my Alphabet Press EF. I also added some punched chevrons from my brand new Chevron punch.
